I haven't blogged in a while and its not because nothing has been going on because it has... lots in fact. Its just I'm coming to the end of my pregnancy and its becoming very blah! I'm as big as a house and feeling every pain. I truly want to hibernate as like a bear lol. My focus isn't great BABY BRAIN in top form. With 30 days to go I am getting very excited...will I remember how to deal with a newborn? Ive asked myself so many times lol. Jacob seems to be taking everything in his stride he has his moments like any 3yr old but I cant wait to see how he reacts to her.

I actually managed to get Dony to a photo studio with me...I amaze myself! go me, yay!

Description: Partnered in biology with new student Patch, 16-year-old Nora Gray starts seeing things she cannot explain. At first she's both drawn and repelled by her lab partner, but when she sees V-shaped scars on his back, Nora learns Patch is fighting an ancient battle between the fallen and the immortal.

My Opinion: It's been a while since Ive read a book and said WOW. I love this book!! it's extremely well written..the love tension with the element of mystery was the right balance. I have to say I didn't really guess the bad guy... but "Miss Green" did have me wondering about her character from the start.

I really liked Nora I thought she made a wonderful main character, although I wasn't overly fond of her name.. kind of left me saying blah.Patch is amazing hes the right amount of jack ass you need to get to know. He reminds me a lot of Ash from the L.J smith books but with a little more to him.If you only read one book this year then this would be it!!! 5 out of 5
